WIOA Local Plan

WIOA emphasizes the importance of collaboration and transparency in the development and submission of local and regional plans. LWDBs provide leadership, and should seek broad stakeholder involvement, in the development of their local and regional plans. Chief local elected officials, LWDB members, core program partners, combined planning partners, mandatory One-Stop career center partners, and local economic development entities are an integral part of the planning process. WIOA encourages an enhanced, integrated system by including core and combined programs in its planning and performance requirements. Affected entities and the public must have an opportunity to provide input in the development of the plan. LWDBs must make the plan available electronically and in open meetings to ensure transparency to the public.

This local plan provides a framework for how our workforce development system will achieve the purposes of WIOA,[1] taking into consideration our local labor market and economic conditions, educational opportunities and the needs of our residents and citizens.
